Interesting POV, and I agree. Most of the many "distributions" of
OpenSolaris had very little value-add. Nexenta was the most interesting

These distributions are, in theory, the "gateway drug" where people
can experiment inexpensively to try out new technologies (ZFS, dtrace,
crossbow, comstar, etc.) and eventually step up to Oracle's "big iron"
as their business grows.
I've never understood how OpenSolaris was supposed to get you to Solaris.
OpenSolaris is for enthusiasts and great great folks like Nexenta.
Solaris lags so far behind it's not really an upgrade path.
